Renoir on Renoir is a 1990 collection of essays by, and interviews
of, the legendary filmmaker Jean Renoir, who created such classics
as The Grand Illusion, The River and The Rules of the Game.
Renoir's career in cinema, which straddled the transition from
silent film to the talkies, has influenced a subsequent generation
of filmmakers. Between 1954 and 1967, Renoir was interviewed by
such eminent filmmakers and theorists as Jacques Rivette, Francois
Truffaut and Jacques Becker. The interviews were originally
recorded and published in the distinguished French film review
Cahiers du Cinema, and shown on French television. They are an
engaging account of Renoir's deep commitment to his chosen
profession. Providing additional information on his ideas and
theories on screen writing and directing, Renoir's essays also
include lively anecdotes of the genesis and evolution of each of
his films. They reveal behind-the-scenes of some of the
masterpieces of French cinema.
